Linked-In: Networking and Presenting Yourself On Linked-In

Linked-In is a great no-nonsense Social Media website for professionals and soon-to-be professionals, and even students. Why? It is a microcosm of the business, scholarly, and governental communities. 

People that need to know each other on Linked-In (or simply want to know and interact with each other) can do so in a respectful manner. It is a professional networking dream.




Unlike Twitter and facebook, the level of communications on Linked-In is generally more serious, apart from the complete opposite option of occasional stress relief! The postings and comments on the site are constructive and informative, not just silly reactions.

People on Linked-In are sharing information, in addition to sometimes offering services.  The majority of postings are beneficial, or will be in the future. Members actually need or can use one another in a win-win manner, on the whole. Understand? Everybody wins.

Linked-In allows direct messaging, commenting, postings, group activity, detailed profiles, and the unique feature of endorsing others for specific tasks or skills. Members generally present themselves in an honest light. The end result is that frauds are weeded-out, and legitimacy is rewarded.

From the standpoint of search engine optimization (SEO) and showing-up in searches and queries on Google, Yahoo, and Bing - Linked-In is also a great tool.

The bottom line is that if you are not a Linked-In Member, you should be - if you have anything at all worthwhile to offer the business community. The networking possibilities are great.
